Hi, I had my lapband done at southwest bariatrics by Dr. Oliver-she has since re-upped with the Air Force. I am revising from lapband to sleeve. I had an adrenal gland and gallbladder removed in feb 12, that was not a walk in the park either-the first night the pain was so bad they had to adjust the morphine drip and it still didn't touch me-I was up all night pushing the button...the nurse said you know it only dispenses every 15 min and I said I know but I didn't want to miss any of them-the pain was that bad but the next day the pain was more than tolerable but it took 2-3 days before I could sleep on my side and about 3 weeks before I felt like myself again. It was the worst of all my surgeries......3 c-sections (lost an ovary with the first and had tubal ligation with the last), appendectomy, lapband, broke my wrist and had to have surgery to repair..... What do you mean when you say it is "more involved"???

48 days......? I think 14 is too long. God be with you:)

I am on day 6 of preop and emotional from day one. Having a really hard time staying on liquids but I am determined to stay on-I have thought the awful thoughts of cheating one meal but keep talking myself out of it:). May 15th is my surgery and mushy food can't come soon enough!

Elissa55-I don't know how to friend request yet:(

I have not had my sleeve yet but I didn't trip on anything Iggy said. Did it make me think again about the sleeve......Heck yeah! But isn't that what this forum is about-to help us be fully informed? Of course i hope and pray it doesnt happen to me, but we all take a chance when we decide to do this surgery. I appreciate knowing I can seek advice or help from some one who has stalls, depression from not losing, and most of all if I have a leak. I enjoy knowing people love their sleeve, but if I'm in a bad place I need to know someone can talk me though it..... So thanks to all for giving your success stories and for those who have had a hard time and helping others through their experience. God Bless You All......

Do you mind if I ask who your surgeon is-I would like my bariatric surgeons office to call her to see where she got the information-they have been waiting for the word:)
